[Qgis-user] Mac version crashes when creating new vector layer

2007-01-11 Thread Laura Burnette

Hello,

I'm trying to convince people in my organization to use QGIS, but one
of the things we need to do is to create new shapefiles and edit them.
This worked in the preview 2 version, but in the final version, when
I try to create a new vector layer it causes the program to freeze.
Is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Laura

Re: [Qgis-user] ECW Licence

2007-01-11 Thread Tim Sutton

Hi

In my mind (from the discussions we have had on this list) the issue
is still not resolved. I think there is nothing to stop someone
creating an unofficial / independent gdal + ecw installer if they are
not so scrupulous / concerned about the licensing and make it so it
overwrites the gdal in the official qgis installer. Maybe even this is
considered bad Im not sure, but at the very least QGIS project wont be
involved in any wrongdoing if the legality is questionable. But I
think until its 100% confirmed that ECW license is compatibe with QGIS
 GDAL we should err on the side of caution when it comes to shipping
ecw out of the box with QGIS.

Regards

Tim

Hi all,



I have read with a great interest your discusion about ECW licence.

It doesn't seems  very simple…



The ability of QGis (windows binaries) to read ECW is also a fundamental
point for us if we want to adopt QGIS.

Several opensource project (gvSIG, Mapserver, FWTools, …) based of course
upon GDAL raster access, are already able to read ECW, but not QGIS.



The link produced by Yves Jacobin seems to break the seals on GPL software :



*
http://www.ermapper.com/downloads/download_view.aspx?PRODUCT_VERSION_ID=305


Licensing:

Free use license: A free license, providing unlimited read/500MB-per-image
compression for ECW and JPEG 2000 in any application including commercial
applications.
GPL-style license: A free license, providing unlimited read/unlimited
compression  for ECW and JPEG 2000 in any GPL style application.
Commercial license: Once off fee license with no royalties for commercial
applications needing unlimited compression for ECW and JPEG 2000.

Unless you need to support compression of images larger than 500MB in
commercial applications, one of the two free licenses should address your
needs.

Release Date: Wednesday, September 06, 2006

Does it means we can expect a windows compiled distribution of QGIS that
will read ECW ?

Or is there still a problem ?



Many Thanks !

[Qgis-user] postgis tables

2007-01-11 Thread Kirk Wythers
Can anyone tell me why when I select add postgis table several  
columns appear as options even though I have dropped those columns  
and they no longer exist in postgis?


Thanks,

Hey Kirk,

How's it goin'?

This is my guess :-)

When you create a geometry column in PostGIS it writes an entry in the
geometry_columns table. Using Postgres SQL drop table... does not remove this
entry. QGIS reads this table (as well as other complicated system tables to
identify views, etc) to generate the list of spatial tables, hence the droped
tables in the list. 

Section 6.1.1 of the PostGIS docs describes the function:

DropGeometryColumn(varchar, varchar, varchar)

Which is a PostGIS function to remove the table AND remove the geometry_columns
record for that table. This is the recommended way to remove a Postgres table
with a PostGIS geometry column.

So if you delete the records in the geometry_columns table for the tables you
have dropped, they should no longer be in the QGIS list.


Spotcha,

  Brent
